She buried
Am

him down on the edge of town
C

Where the brick load suckers

on the cemetery creep
Dm

She stood with them children
F
in a heavy brown gown
Dm
C
What you want,
Am
F
you just can't always keep
C
Am
I'm sorry, I says, well,
Dm
C
Am
Though your body's young,
Dm
C
Am
When the hand of fate
F
brings the final death knell
Dm
C
Am
F
She just turned with the saddest smiles
C
Am
She says at the start, well,
Dm
C
Am
F
We were always dealt the severest cards
C
Am
F
Honeymoon spent, drove in jammers
Dm
C
Am
and stocked through the wild this win ter,
C
Am
Ro mantic notions of
F
Dm
horses and lamb,
C
they were soon dispelled
Am
F
Dm
As a fantasized dream,
C
watching cattle at night
Am
F
In the midwinter cold,
C
Am
F
turns a person both wiry and older
C
Am
And the flame of the breakfast fire
Am

When the weather turned sour
F
with the onset of rain
Dm

The truck would bog down
Am
F
to the axle mains
Dm
C
Am
He'd move ahead with pikes,
F
Dm
saddles, and chains
F
Dm
C
Am
And I'd wait in the mud by the road
F
C
With the blankets and
Am
F
canvas they hung out
Dm
C
Am
But nothing for heat,
F
cause you couldn't light a fire
Dm
C
Am
With no stop per mit
F
for the forthcoming shire
Dm
C
The dogs would whimper
Am
in the winter wind rain
F
C
Am
And carols don't camp
F
Dm
when they're sloshing in rain
F
Dm
C
You keep walking all night
Am
F
like a dog on a chain
C
You'd be red -eyed and weary
Am
F
Dm
with a pack of scorned lame
C
while I'm sitting miles
Am
F
behind in the mud
C
Am
And if it was down through Charleville
Dm
C
Living on syrup and damper
Am
F
Am
and salted cornmeat
F
Am

We had nothing but the ruse

and the mailman to meet

But the middling skies
F
of the starriest of nights
Dm
C
Were the dance of the fire
Am
F
-throwing flicker of light
Dm
C
Am
The beauty of its sunsets
F
were a constant delight
Am
C
Am
F
I found nature had let me intrude it
C
Am
The enormous vastness
F
of the Midland Plains
Dm
C
Am
Gives you a lonely contentment
F
Dm
for which you can't put a name
C
It's a satisfied glow
Am
F
city folks seldom attain
Dm
C
Am
They spend life on a right rigid rail
F
C
Am
And the kids got their schooling
F
Dm
from the government mail
F
Dm
C
Am
He posted there working
Dm
C
Am
They con sidered the learning
F
a self -imposed jail
Dm

Early last month at the end of the grind
C
Am
F
He was given a horse nobody could ride
C
Am
Alert were his ears
F
with a fire in each stride
Dm
C
Am
F
He was young and his spirit was wild
C
Am
To catch him each mornin'
F
Am
was an hour -long battle
Dm
C
Am
He had to call a rope his nearside
F
to throw on the saddle
C
Am
He'd bite and he'd strike,
F
he made my nerves rattle
Dm
C
Am
F
Pande monium reigned with each ride
C
Am
There was a hot summer's mornin'
F
at the government ball
Am
C
There was stillness around
Am
F
Am
I'd not felt before
F
Am
C
Am
How could he know
F
it was fate at his door
Dm
C
Am
That was stealthily watchin' his moves
F
C
Am
He mounted up quick,
F
Am
takin' slack from the reins
C
Am
Crossed the forehand of here
F
Am
from the horse's long mane
Am
F
when the horse went insane
Dm
C
Am
F
Churning dust in a frenzy of fear
C
And the girth on the saddle
Am
F
Am
let go at the ring
C
Am
And the sir's single slip
F
was impossible to cling
Dm
C
Am
The horse fell it go,
F
made a desperate cling
Dm
C
Am
F
He was thrown to the length of the re ins
C
Am
I heard his spine snap
F
like a room shooter's shot
Dm
C
Am
He bus ted his back on
F
the concrete he dropped
Dm
C
Am
Sickness and fear were
C
Am
For the doctor with a six
C
Am
Well, I looked at his face
F
and his color turned white
C
Am
Turned slowly and said,
F
can't make it till night
Dm
C
Am
My body is broken.

I'll sail up the plain

F
Dm
and I'll move here to town
F
Dm
C
Am
Before the winter returns
F
with a chill on the ground
Dm
C
Am
For what I just lost can
Dm
C
Am
F
I was blessed with the gentlest of men
C
Am
And eventually the children
F
will move to the east
Dm
C
But I couldn't stand the bustle
Am
F
Even a quiet city street
Dm
C
Am
I'll stay in the scrub here
F
Dm
Where my heart really beats
C
Am
F
For some dogs grow too old for changin'
